Trip Planner: Asia / South Korea / Seoul / Insadong

Insadong, Seoul

4.1

#2 of 61 in Neighborhoods in South Korea

Once the prime district to find antiques and ancient art, Insadong remains at the heart of Seoul's cafe culture. The main street, which the municipality blocks off on weekends to allow for safe pedestrian traffic, branches off into narrow alleys, lined with art galleries, teahouses, and garden restaurants. Traditional and modern Korean art are available for viewing and purchase at over 100 local galleries. Munch on taffy and pajeon (Korean pancake) from street vendors while you explore. Plan my trip to Seoul with suggested itineraries provided by Inspirock.

Other than the LINE cafe, many boutiques n weekend markets for shopping. If you have enough of Dongdaemun n Myeong-dong, this is the in-place to visit. It's a bit like Myeong-dong or Shinjuku of Japan... more »

It has became too touristic after all the tourist visit here. It is not special unless you want to shop something for gift. more »
